And yet as good as it was, Luther saith, p. 226. de Concil. Ariana haeresis jocus fuit ante Nicenum Concilium, praeilla confusione quam ipsi post Concilium excitaverunt. Augustine's sad complaint of the loading of the Church with ceremonies, and comparing them to Judaism, is commonly known. Of which see Luther's Comment. ib. p. 55, 56. And so strange did it seem to Luther that the learned Prelates of those bitter times should so scold circa naenia & nugas, about preeminence and ceremonies, and things of nought, that he is again and again taken up in admiring it. Read that Treatise throughout.

Is it not sad to think of the heat of an Epiphanius and Theophilus Alexand. against Chrysostom, and of Chrysostom against them! Of Hierom against Ruffinus, Chrysostom, and many others; and if Austin had not been more peaceable then he, one of them must have been an Heretic, or Schismatic at least. How many more such sad examples have we!
